Sep. 2 () –
The company Siemens Energy, manufacturer of the allegedly damaged turbine in the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, has affirmed that the version given by the firm Gazprom “does not constitute a technical reason to cease operations” in the infrastructure.
The Russian gas company explained in a statement that the maintenance work carried out in recent days on the only active turbine has detected an oil leak and, unless it is repaired, no more gas can be pumped.
However, according to Siemens Energy, “these types of leaks do not usually affect the activity of the turbine and can be fixed on site”, without the need for intervention by the manufacturer. “It is a routine procedure,” the company claimed in a statement sent to Europa Press.
In fact, he has pointed out that, on other occasions, this type of incident did not lead to “a closure of operations” such as the one announced this Friday by Gazprom, which leaves a key gas pipeline for shipping to central Europe inactive.
